We have been to this restaurant in Utrecht a few times and really like the place. On a warm summer's day, it's a real joy to grab one of the canal side tables with the bustle of the city taking place above your heads. And we particularly enjoy the mussels and chips! Service is variable - on this occasion it took almost 20 minutes to attract one of the servers in order to get our bill. And the poor lady behind us ended up wearing her hot water when her selection of tea bags was being brought over to her. The menu is in Dutch and English in the main, which is useful for tourists - with the sole exception of Flammkuchen which turned out to be a flatbread style pizza (lovely) rather than the anticipated tart. Ah well, we live and learn. It brews its own beers which are great and you can see the old copper still at canal level. Toilets are not well signed and trying to work out how to get to canal level from the ground level interior is trickier than you would expect. Overall this is a lovely place that serves good food and the staff are friendly. We will be back.
